The Last Dance's final episodes aired on Sunday, May 17 on ESPN. Revolving around the 1997-98 Bulls season, the documentary explored how the Chicago Bulls dynasty came to an end after the campaign. Along with Michael Jordan, the likes of Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman, all left the franchise after the 1997-98 NBA season and the Bulls were dismantled and the Jerry Krause Bulls break up served as the main plot for the series. Apart from Jordan's time on the court, The Last Dance also focused on several off-court incidents that shaped his legendary career. His struggles with gambling, hurtful rumours of the death of his father, his first retirement in 1999, are some of the moments briefly touched upon in the 10-part docu-series.
